Interesting
Made me c want to make a run to the liquor store in order to try a few of these. Still might when the shelter I'm place if finished. This book is an resource book to go along with the alternate history the series is based on🤓 Recommend not only for those who would like a new recipe book for their bar 🍸 but also any one who,wants to learn more about the drinks that were high-light in the books.

This is an amusing book, filled with cocktail recipes from the 1800's and forwards.
I enjoyed Jennie's voice, as she explains the history of these wonderfully evocative drinks.
As someone unable to enjoy alcohol, I looked at most of the recipes with longing, as the descriptions were enough to make the mouth water!
A short, but sweet, read.

Sipping and reading are two of my favorite pastimes.
I want a hard copy. The recipes and history details sound accurate without being plagerized. There are a few cocktails that are new to me I want to try. I liked it.

You get one sometimes two paragraphs of history on each drink. It is a good book on how to make the drinks.

I enjoyed this lighthearted, informative book on the "alternative " history of drinks. It was fun and had some unique commentary about cocktails.
